Oikocredit is one of the world’s largest sources of private funding to the microfinance sector. Oikocredit provides credit and equity to small businesses through microfinance institutions across the developing world and directly to trade cooperatives, fair trade organizations and small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Oikocredit investors are offered a dual return: social and financial. In addition to earning modest financial returns, investors are secure in the knowledge their money is being used to fight poverty, promote fair trade and respect our planet’s natural resources.
Social performance management is a priority for Oikocredit. Measuring and demonstrating social return on investment is essential, as Oikocredit strives to know that its investments lead to positive change in the lives of the working poor. In particular, Oikocredit aims to increase its reach to rural, agricultural communities and is committed to women’s empowerment.
